BeeSB. We use 120grams of Primaloft Eco (50% recycled) in our Compressor Jacket. The Nano uses 60grams of Primaloft PL One. 120grams vs. 60grams... more insulation = warmer. The Nano uses a 15D Polyester Shell... the Compressor uses a 15D Ripstop Nylon Shell. Nylon is more durable than Polyester when it comes to shell materials. Both the Nano and the Compressor would provide a similar water resistance considering both use a very good DWR. I hope this info helps!
